I've thought about it. That's as far as I've gotten though. I don't
think an electric motor (small enough to fit in the engine
compartment) has enough power to turn an A/C compressor, and then
using it to cool water seems like a bit of excess. If you're going to
use a water-air intercooler, just drop a couple blocks of dry ice into
the water reservoir. With a buncha ice, and it should stay cool for a
couple of runs...
